When I was a little boy I played with all of my toys I had my favorite puppy dog Like other girls and boys And I had my bow and arrow I'd take it to the woods Momma smiled and waved at me Proud I was doin good Then I grew up into this world And I watched the people change I saw the cities kill their souls I started feelin strange So I grabbed my bow and arrow Take it back to my woods I found that straight and narrow And I knew I was doin good And when I see a little boy or little girl Who feels a little out of place Take em by the hand into the wild Watch that smile come across their face Because, here we feel alive and free Our spirit rises high We have found us a better world And they'll save it for you and I If your kid's in front of the tv set With no smile just a stare Shut it down you'll have no regrets Take em outside for some air And give em a simple, bow and arrow Watch him aim for the sky He'll find the spirit of the wild And he'll stay there till the day he dies And watch him, he'll share it with his own boys and girls They will surely know That mother nature, she needs us all She'll grow a seed that we sow So plant it with a, a bow and arrow A bow and arrow, my bow and arrow The bow and arrow I shoot it all the Bow and arrow, aim for the sky Bow and arrow, shoot it all the time My bow and arrow, my bow and arrow Bow and arrow, my bow and arrow My bow and arrow, it saved my life Bow and arrow, I'm gonna shoot Bow and arrow, aim for the sky Bow and arrow, ohoh I always played cowboys and indians And I was the indian I found the spirit, and I sent my arrow high I get high with my arrow, I aim for the sky
